Data.table: [Question] Is Rtools installation on Windows deprecated?

Created on 16 Aug 2017  路  1Comment  路  Source: Rdatatable/data.table

I noticed that there are now only instructions for binaries on the wiki page. The binary way is very nice to have, but it still seems to work fine via the Rtools route. Will it continue to work and is there a reason I should switch from using Rtools for this?

(Sorry if it's a dumb question.)

Rtools route will always work as it is the way that R packages meant to be compiled on windows. If we would stop supporting it our package wouldn't build on R windows platforms.
